Rules

No Hard Drugs Allowed in the space. No smoking or vaping inside. Moderate alcohol use is permitted as long as you are not using tools and machinery while under the influence.
No non-members, including partners, guests, or friends of Rust Temple members, can use Rust Temple tools or shop spaces. Everyone must become at least a shop member and sign and return a liability waiver prior to use of the space.
Rust Temple is not open to the public. Rust Temple cannot host public events in our space. All non-members are invited guests - the member inviting them assumes responsibility for conveying rules to the guest and their actions in the space.
All member spaces are considered the private space of that member. Do not enter another member’s space without explicit permission or invitation.
No personal food in shared kitchen. Food is pack in pack out.
All trash is pack in pack out.
No removing Rust Temple tools from Rust Temple. Return all Rust Temple tools to their rightful shop spaces promptly after use.
All flammables must be stored in the flammables locker.
Keep fire lanes and red-lined walkways clear at all times. These are evacuation routes in case we all need to get out in an emergency. The walkways and exits are also marked on the floor plan drawing by the door. Know where fire extinguishers are throughout the space.
No sanding, staining or doing anything that would create noxious fumes without proper ventilation. Hand sanding is fine in your space if you clean it up, orbital sanding is fine in the woodshop but make sure to turn the window vent fan on prior to sanding and clean up whatever dust is made. If in doubt ask an undertaker before doing any activity that might make noxious fumes. Dust is the enemy of many art pieces, objects, and lungs!
Do not leave personal items unattended in common spaces. Members can work on projects in these spaces so long as they don’t inhibit anyone else from using the common spaces for extended periods. If items are left unattended in common spaces they may be tossed.
Be active in keeping the Rust Temple clean for everyone. If you see a mess, especially in the shared spaces please take a seconds to clean it up.
